[OmniOS-discuss] OmniOS Bloody update

[Dan McDonald]

Hello again!

With one week left until Surge & illumos Day, I wanted to make sure an update to bloody happened.  With recent illumos bugs (e.g. 6214) taking high priority, I wanted to make sure their fixes ended up in the bloody release (as well as appropriate ones making it back into r151014).

New with this update out of omnios-build (now at master revision f01dd5c):

- Mozilla NSS up to version 3.20.  (Includes ca-bundle update.)

- OpenSSH is now at version 7.1p1.

- The kayak images now include previously missing bits.


And highlights of illumos-omnios progress (now at master revision 23b18eb, meaning uname -v == omnios-23b18eb) are:

- A fix to illumos 6214, which will prevent the existence of l2arc/cache devices from potentially corrupting data.

- An additional pair of ZFS fixes from Delphix not yet upstreamed in illumos-gate.

- Updated ses connector lists.

- An htable_reap() fix from Joyent, which may prevent memory hogging and reap-related slowdowns.

- New kstats for the NFS server (see illumos 6090).


There will be one, possibly two, more bloody updates before I freeze for r151016.  '016 will be a bit late this time (late October/early November), and one more bloody update will contain a potentially numerous upgrade of various omnios-build packages.

I have updated the .iso, .usb-dd, and the kayak images as well.

Happy updating!
Dan
